Just wondering if anyone noticed a light in the sky a few degrees south of the Southern Cross last night around 6.45-7.00pm last night.

Basically I was looking at that region of the sky (naked eye) and a "star" where there was no star increased in brightness for a few seconds then dimmed to nothing.

The whole thing took maybe 15-20 sec to complete.

I'm assuming it wasn't a nova as they tend to last a bit longer. Of course it may have been a meteor that flew straight at me.

So if anyone saw it last night I'd love to know what it was.....if anyone knows.
